Working with Drupal commerce entities using entity_metadata_wrapper. Just a bunch of exampled copied from the web or added by me. will keep adding over time. now more then just commerce entities

Took an hour of Googling to find the answer on how to reference an EMW value() when it's an array - you had the answer I was looking for with your $price_amount example on line 146! I knew there was a way, thanks!

thanks for this tax EMW insights. have been stuck for days.

Thank you so much for this! I spent way too much time yesterday poking at EntityFieldQuery and EntityMetadataWrapper configurations to try to get order subtotal data. I wish this page had come up much higher in my Google searches at the time!
